Milton S. Hershey’s legacy extends beyond the company he founded, the town he built and the products he created that are enjoyed by millions. As early as 1905, he established an independent trust company to provide the town’s financial services and manage the assets that were to fund his many philanthropic endeavors.
Today, the Hershey Trust Company manages the funds of the Milton Hershey School Trust and the M.S. Hershey Foundation, as well as private individuals, families and institutions.
